  1. We never read such things about Tribisky or Fields, it’s promising, suggesting the Bears have a chance at a real NFL offense.
  2. Pursuing Brennon/Martinez types is in Hoyer’ wheelhouse and exactly what should expect in 2025. If the Cubs are serious about Soto then Hoyer is not their GM.
  3. I’d like to believe the Cubs would be serious contenders for Soto. That’s as far as goes, in actuality, after the Dodgers do not win the WS, they’re going to sign Soto and backload his contract until the mid 22nd century.
  4. Was at the game today, endured the rain delay for that dud, Nevertheless, we had good seats, guess, I can take consolation in the fact that Rea and the Brewers will get obliterated in the playoffs. Can football start already?
  5. I wonder if he has a legitimate chance at the next level? Do his peripherals suggest he has a shot? I know Mervis' and Canario' peripherals imply they both have little to no chance at being an effective major league ballpalyer, hopefully, it's different for Ballesteros.
  6. Removing these clowns from the ball-strike determination equation cannot happen soon enough.
  7. Why did Mastrobuoni swing? Despite the calls by the umpire, Thompson hasn't thrown too many strikes, no reason to swing at all.
  8. Nice way to end a very successful road trip, 5-2, could have been 6-1. I'll take back the Morel hate for one game, who knows, maybe, this starts a heater for him. He's certainly due. It was also great they finally took it to Mikolas.
  9. At the moment Morel has little to no trade value, he can't catch or hit the ball, don't know what else there is when it comes to baseball.
  10. Morel was removed from the field, next is removal from the lineup, even though it's a lost cause I'd like to see Canario get a shot at DH today. He'll just strike out instead of the Morel multiple outs in single at bat special. Hell, just do it to change something up, waiting out Busch has turned well but, it's time to cut the string with Morel.
  11. At the very least he won't cost them runs with his glove.
  12. Nothing's a kick in the balls to a winning streak like a Hendricks start. Might as well look forward to sweeping the weekend or, taking 2 of 3, as Lynn and Mikolas both suck and, since we're talking about regression to the mean. The Cubs are overdue to lay one on the garbage that is Miles Mikolas.
  13. Given the Cubs luck with injuries this season I'm expecting the worst possible outcome for Bellinger. As for Canario, that adds another black hole in the lineup, great.
  14. I agree with the above regarding Djokovic, won't hear from him today, his QF opponent is injured and couldn't compete. Meanwhile, looks as Fritz' SF bid is fading, he's down 4-0 in the fifth set.
  15. On the men' side at Wimbeldon, two Americans in the quarter-finals, best result for Americans men in quite some time. There's a chance one - Fritz - could make it to the semi-finals.
  16. Stupid? Sure. However, the silver lining is he may no longer be an option out of the bullpen, ultimately turning out to be a good thing.
  17. We knew the obligatory Hendricks start loss was coming, just thought the Cubs might make it competitive against a terrible Angels team. There's still a pretty good chance a series win which is a good thing.
  18. Maybe add Lopez and Miller to that list, or, just keep Neris away from any high leverage situations.
  19. Adding a run here and there, expanding on the lead, WTF is going on?
  20. Swanson may be currently worthless at the plate but, there's no doubt he's picked it up with glove. Looking every bit the Gold Glove fielder of late.
  21. Tiafoe started strong, broke Alcaraz in the first set, looks like Alcaraz is back on his game though, easily taking the second set 6-2. Now, Tiafoe is up a break in the third, if he holds and takes the third set, this could get interesting.
  22. Bold prediction - Steele gets his first win today.
  23. When Little has control he's almost un-hittable, if he could consistently throw strikes that could solve the closer problem.
  24. 2024-2025 Illini playing some pickup ball - in addition to Boswell, believe that's Jakucionis dicing and dishing
